BRITISH surgeons treating a Pakistani schoolgirl shot in the head by the Taliban have outlined their plans to give her a titanium skull.

They also praised the “remarkable” recovery of Malala Yousufzai, 15, who was gunned down over her campaign for girls’ education.

She was flown to Birmingham’s Queen Elizabeth Hospital last October.

Her recovery is remarkable and it’s a testament to her strength and desire to get better.

Surgeons there yesterday revealed they will replace missing parts of Malala’s skull and implant an electronic hearing device to cover for her destroyed left eardrum.

They have moulded a 0.66mm thick titanium metal plate using a 3D model of her skull, ready to be screwed into place.

The two 90-minute operations will take place in the next 10 days. Dr Dave Rosser, the hospital’s medical director, said: “Her recovery is remarkable and it’s a testament to her strength and desire to get better.”
